Ch. 115 Tale of a Certain Brave Man (side story)

The desert land, Hallenier.

There are many monsters and few resources, this is originally an inconvenient place to live.

But with the help of excellent magicians, numerous guardian amulets and support from other places, it was finally established.

Because of various reasons, this country is protected, it is believed that this is a sacred place and the brave are born here.

I was born as a brave man here 18 years ago. When I was born I was brought here to a church, where I grew up. I do not know my parents name, and the name I have now was given to me by a priest. But, I do not mind. It does not matter.

Because the priest’s tongue slipped, I came to know that I was the eldest born of a poor family. When I learned of it, I thought it was good that I was born as a brave man.

The difference between the rich and the poor here is great.

This is because most of the priests monopolize supplies from other places. Also, because it is surrounded by the desert where dangerous monsters emerge, it is impossible to find another place to work. I’m absolutely sorry for the poor families in such a place. It’s just a waste being born.

As for me, I can safely walk alone in the desert with G.o.d’s protection.

Just a while ago I met with a stupid slave trader who was lamenting over the fact that he had to cross the desert to deliver his products only to be attacked by demons.

It seems that he certainly had a good horse, but, something to that extent will not be able to shake off the desert monsters. There are routes with few monsters, but in order to pa.s.s there you have to go through the country which has abolished beast slaves. You cannot pa.s.s such a place with a slave.

I had traveled around the world on the day I turned 14 according to tradition. Although I have seen some terrible countries, it is not easy to corrupt Hallenier if you have only corrupted the upper echelon. Still it is my tradition that I will visit Hallenier if I’m nearby.

“Hero! The rumored hero has returned!”

“Look at that brave figure!”

Just by walking, I could feel the eyes of envy from the surroundings. I feel good when I think of the poor and weak around me, while laughing in my mind. Although the reason I’m staying here is for a different purpose.

I smile, and wave my hand to react to the beggars. I go ahead through the town disregarding the noisy monkeys.

After all it is good here. In other places, my name isn’t that wide spread.

“Umm, excuse me, I, I want to have a talk with hero-sama…!”

Because there was a girl who came running in from the side to stand in front of me, I stopped my feet. A woman who seems to be her mother comes out later half laughing, saying “I’m sorry, this girl….” while pulling the girls hand, but the girl resists it.

I unintentionally laugh while looking at the situation.

I touch the mothers hand and have her separate from the girl. I then kicked the stomach of the girl, who now showed shuffled facial expressions.

The surrounding goes silent and confusion appears in everyone’s eyes.

I unintentionally got carried away. I dislike having my way blocked by a stupid brat.

If this matter spreads, my reputation may get hurt, but it will be alright. Putting me in a bad mood, who is the symbol of this country, can be said to be the same as committing treason towards the church. This won’t spread through the public.

If you are not on the churches side, you are a criminal. In Hallenier, the maintenance of peace and security is under the jurisdiction of the church. Because there is something that must be done here, I&rsq

uo;ve been staying in the camp Haleena for quite some time.

Normally civilians are not allowed to enter this camp. Even officials need to go through nominal procedures. One can hardly get pa.s.s the gate guards, but only I can get in here freely with a face pa.s.s.

I walk the corridor of the camp while watching the guards hurriedly lower their heads, I then stop in front of a certain jail cell.

“Long time no see knight chief Adofu. No, should I say former knight chief?”

I look at the person sitting in the depths of the cell with a smile on his face. A man with a big solid body stares at me from the intersection of the lattice.
